1. Because someone promised me free cookies and hugs.
2. Because all my friends are doing it, so I decided to do it too.
3. Because I thought petting all the puppies would be fun
4. Because it gives me another reason to make lists on the forums
Okay, so in reality - main reason because as being an officer/successor in a kin that does a LOT of pvp (*looks at Gil*) I figured that I shouldnt be TOTALLY clueless about it. Plus I'm not a real alt person - i have my mini and my rk at 75, no desire to level someone else really. So, it's something else to do.
I got into boxing when I was in college, and some other things when I got out. It was less about pwning more about growing. It's like fists became a hammer and chisel and you carved out the best in your opponent as he did you. I couldn't really keep that up with married life so I got into pvp, same rush, same growing experience, less brain cells lost (more keyboards smashed).
I got into The Barnacles of Narnia when I was in Galtrev one day, and I learned about dong for you what you want me to do for you. It was less about pwning more about learning about not making people jump through hoops. I do it for those who want me to do what they want me to do when they want me to do what is known as pvp. And I do not make them jump through hoops for buffs.
*coughs* Right, so mebbe I also dun peeveepee t'make up fer me lack of edumacation n'stuffs.
(Yeah, okay, so I don't pay attention to my typing. I'm a vent girl for a reason...wait, epic mistells too - I'm a vent girl for TWO, two reasons, mwa hahaha)

Way too many infractions to post that here.... ; )
I'd call you a wimp but I'm fairly certain you're a warg who wants to eat lil ol' mini me for lunch.
(Plus, waaaaaaaaaaay too many people know about my screaming "haaaaaaaaaaaaaalp! Puppy on me! Wait, no, SIX PUPPIES ON ME! GET EM OFF GET EM...oh dangit. Sigh. Retreating." )

Quantum mechanics (QM – also known as quantum physics, or quantum theory) is a branch of physics dealing with physical phenomena where the action is on the order of the Planck constant. Quantum mechanics departs from classical mechanics primarily at the quantum realm of atomic and subatomic length scales. QM provides a mathematical description of much of the dual particle-like and wave-like behavior and interactions of energy and matter.
In advanced topics of quantum mechanics, some of these behaviors are macroscopic and only emerge at extreme (i.e., very low or very high) energies or temperatures. The name quantum mechanics derives from the observation that some physical quantities can change only in discrete amounts (Latin quanta), and not in a continuous (cf. analog) way. For example, the angular momentum of an electron bound to an atom or molecule is quantized.[1] In the context of quantum mechanics, the wave–particle duality of energy and matter and the uncertainty principle provide a unified view of the behavior of photons, electrons, and other atomic-scale objects.
The mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics are abstract. A mathematical function called the wavefunction provides information about the probability amplitude of position, momentum, and other physical properties of a particle. Mathematical manipulations of the wavefunction usually involve the bra-ket notation, which requires an understanding of complex numbers and linear functionals. The wavefunction treats the object as a quantum harmonic oscillator, and the mathematics is akin to that describing acoustic resonance. Many of the results of quantum mechanics are not easily visualized in terms of classical mechanics—for instance, the ground state in a quantum mechanical model is a non-zero energy state that is the lowest permitted energy state of a system, as opposed a more "traditional" system that is thought of as simply being at rest, with zero kinetic energy. Instead of a traditional static, unchanging zero state, quantum mechanics allows for far more dynamic, chaotic possibilities, according to John Wheeler.
The earliest versions of quantum mechanics were formulated in the first decade of the 20th century. At around the same time, the atomic theory and the corpuscular theory of light (as updated by Einstein) first came to be widely accepted as scientific fact; these latter theories can be viewed as quantum theories of matter and electromagnetic radiation, respectively. Early quantum theory was significantly reformulated in the mid-1920s by Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, Wolfgang Pauli and their collaborators, and the Copenhagen interpretation of Niels Bohr became widely accepted. By 1930, quantum mechanics had been further unified and formalized by the work of Paul Dirac and John von Neumann, with a greater emphasis placed on measurement in quantum mechanics, the statistical nature of our knowledge of reality, and philosophical speculation about the role of the observer. Quantum mechanics has since branched out into almost every aspect of 20th century physics and other disciplines, such as quantum chemistry, quantum electronics, quantum optics, and quantum information science. Much 19th century physics has been re-evaluated as the "classical limit" of quantum mechanics, and its more advanced developments in terms of quantum field theory, string theory, and speculative quantum gravity theories.
